W/R/F ceramic products are microwave and dishwasher safe. They are not oven safe.
Light colored glazes may show cutlery marks over time. These marks can be removed by scrubbing the surface with scouring powder such as baking soda and/or Bar Keeper's Friend using a damp, soft cloth.
Due to the handmade nature of W/R/F products, colors and sizes vary between production batches. These include variations in the materials as well as the making processes. Before placing your order, please carefully review our guide below to better understand variations in our products that we deem acceptable.
Iron spot markings- Left photo acceptable. Right photo unacceptable.
W/R/F ceramic pieces are made from stoneware clay that has natural minerals including free iron that can appear as dark spots on the ceramics. Our aesthetic allows for a minimal amount of small iron spots. Large iron spots are unacceptable and marked as 2nd quality and sold at a discounted price.
Glaze marks pictured are acceptable.
During the glazing process, plates are handled with tongs. The marks left behind by the tongs are a natural part of W/R/F aesthetics.
Shifting- Left photo acceptable. Right photo unacceptable.
Occasionally, circular forms (bowls, plates, cups/mugs, pitchers/creamers/vases) shift during the firing process. W/R/F’s aesthetic embraces mild shifting of the form. Excessive shifting is marked as 2nd quality and sold at a discounted price.
With each firing, the color of our glazes will vary slightly due to the reductive environment of the kiln.
The two middle plates are slightly lighter in color than the others. All plates pictured are made with the same glaze color. These subtle color differences are acceptable. The slight variance in form between each plate is also acceptable.
Shifting- Left photo acceptable. Right photo unacceptable.
The level of the lip on forms can shift during the firing process. We accept subtle shifting. Excessive shifting is marked as 2nd quality and sold at a discounted price.
Drip marks are acceptable on all cups.
Steaks and drip marks appear with Mustard, Wreath and Ash glazes.
